The move comes less than 14 months after Boudreau was first hired. The Canucks are 18-25-3 through 46 games in 2022-23, sitting sixth in the Pacific Division and 27th in the league. The Canucks played again Saturday, this time losing to the Oilers at home, but Boudreau continued to receive support from fans.TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston spoke Thursday on Insider Trading of the possibility of Tocchet being hired. Johnston said "Tocchet was very careful with his wording. He was on TNT's broadcasts on Wednesday night. [He] said he didn't have a contract with Vancouver. I would expect that to change at some point here in the next few days.
